AGRICULTURAL NOTES
What 100 Ohio Farmers Know
About Beans
Upward" of 100 Highland coun
ty fanners raised soybeans this
year in their corn for silage. A
summary oF their experiences as
collected by the county farm
bureau indicates the following
jiGnts regarding the culture of
soybeans :
Soybeans can" be satisfactorily
raised without inoculating the
seed, but no nitrogen-fixing
nodules are "produced on the roots
unless (1) the seed is inoculated,
(2) beans have been previously
grown on the land, or (3) soil on"
which soybeans have been grown
is applied to the new field.
If fertilizer is drilled in with the
seed, there is ' danger- that the
germination as well as the inocula
tion of the seed may be affected,
particularly if the fertilizer is not
well cured.
The corn planter with a solid
tire may form a crust which will
reduce or prevent the growth of a
stand. The open tire wheel re
duces the packing effect.
Even though the weather has
been dry this season in Highland
county, observation does not indi
cate that the beans injured the
corn by robbing it of moisture.
The varieties that have proved
popular this year are Medium
Green, Wilson, and Ohio 9,035.
Yellow Mammoth was disappoint
ing. Waste Lands Grow Walnut
Profitably
Tljiat walnut, a high-priced and
fast' disappearing timber in Ohio,
may be grown profitably on waste
land is pointed out by the depart
ment of forestry at the Ohio Ex
periment Station. "While1 walnut
does not grow, in pure stands like
oak and muple, groves may be set
out in unused agricultural lands
by getting a start from seedlings.
The seedlings may be secured by
planting the nuts in gardens this
fall.
Because the black walnut is an
extremely intolerant species, it
will not thrive directly in the
shade of other trees. To create
good forest conditions in the wal
nut groves then foresters state
that it is necessary to mix the
seedlings with the maple species.
Pure plantings of the walnut
species thrive well until they reacli
an age of about 30 years when un
like many forest trees, the growth
is checked and some of- the trees
die.
A bulletin on growing black
walnut is mailed free to residents
of Ohio from the Experiment Sta
tion at Wooster.
Concrete Floors Save Fertility For
Farmers
By increasing the value of
manure produced, concrete floors
for feeding stables will return
their cst in about one year, as
shown by tests at the Ohio Experi
ment Station. The extra crop re

P. II. S. defeated Genoa in a
hard-fought game on Friday last.
The opponents outweighed our
team but the speed "of-the backfield
and the spectacular defensive work
of the line overbalanced their ad
vantage. The first quarter was scoreless
with the ball in Genoa's territory
most of the time. In the later
part of the second period Thornton
managed to carry the pigskin over
for our first touch down. The goal
was not kicked, making the score
G to 0.
Tn the third quarter Dibling
drop kicked a goal, which finished
the scoring. It remained 9 to 0 till
the end of the game.
Friday, October 10, Prairie Do

A STEP IN THE RIGHT DIREC
TION In order to convince tho people
in rerrysburg and the territory
surrounding it for miles that they
can do better by trading in this
town a number of our -progressive
merchants have inaugurated a sys
tem of special prices on articles for
Saturday only. On every one of
the articles advertised there is a
genuine saving and they will go a
long way towards helping to solve
thc"-problem of the high cost'of liv
ing. These specials will bo in the
regular advertisements of the mer
chants and it will pay every woman
(and man to watch for them each
week and read them carefullyv Tho
progressive spirn. snown oy our
merchants in the endeavor to ex
tend the trade territory of Perrys
burg is certainly to be commended,
and there can be no doubt but that
tho new move will be profitable to
the advertisers and a lasting bene
fit to tho town.

NEW CITY BUILDING
An Absolute Necessity and Its Ex
istence to Bo Determined at
Election
The voters will decide at the
polls cfn Tuesday, November 4,
whether Perrysburg shall have a
new, city building or nothing at all.
The present building occupied
by the fire department and council
chamber has been condemned and
ordered closed by the State Indus
trial uomnu&sion, witli the per
mission to be used only until elec
tion. The tower is dangerously
unsafe and the front wall of the
entire building is about to cave in.
It was erected forty-seven yenrs
ago and has served its purpose,
now it lias become dangerous and
unfit for use and must, be torn
down.
On the same location, if the peo
ple of our town are in favor, can
be built a fine city building, for
which bonds must be issued to the
amount of $7,000. Are the major
ity in favor of voting this bond
issue? Consider the matter, look
at the "fine new buildings being
erected by some of our progressive
business men, the large extensions
added to their present buildings
by Mr. Geo. W. Moser and "Win.
Schlect & Son ; the new tailor shop
Milton Meadcnus has erected and
the new Masonic Temple now un
der construction; all these im
provements, and the town not own-
jing an up-to-date city building
If the council and fire depart
ment are compelled to rent quar
ters the cost of same will, in a
short time, pay for a new build
ing, besides the many modern
conveniences wall be lacking. A
town as progressive as Perrysburg
bj- all means should have an up-to-date
administration building, and
the question rests with the voters
to be settled.

Front Street Shell Holes Cause
Big Loss to Town
The shell holes in the Front
street paving will cause thousands
of dollars loss to the business
interests of Perrysburg during the
coining year. This became ap
parent during the past week when
the Toledo Automobile club
caused signs to be placed east and
west of the town, asking all tour
ists oil the Dixie Highway to de
tour around the town, on account
of the condition of Front street.
What this means to the financial
interests of Perrysburg can easily
